Dr cohen has left me deaf due to the excessive amount of radiation he gave me due to a successfully removed very small tumor. To this day I have lost friends, had to quit activities, can’t hear plays or music very well. He destroyed the quality of my life. Even other doctors have told me that shouldn’t have happened.
